It looks like we now have a pretty good idea when the THIRD STIMULUS check could begin to arrive in people’s hands. It all starts with a new goal for a date to pass the $1.9 trillion dollar package, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she expects to clear the House of Representatives in two weeks and be handed over to the Senate for a vote. Speaker Pelosi thinks Congress can beat the date of March 14 to pass the bill: “Absolutely. Without any question. Before then,”Speaker Pelosi told the press on Friday. That means a $1400 stimulus check per person could get out the door quicker, too.
